If you just can't wait for the 11 October release, there's a small snippet of Crimson Death online here.
Despite all the hype about Edward and Ireland and cool stuff actually happening, they've chosen to showcase a pretty generic and unsexy sex scene, but with Damian in it, along with Nate and Anita.
Based on the excerpt, she still hasn't learned anything about specific words for sex scenes ("his body" ahoy!) or the idea that images of a person being like "meat between his teeth" is NOT SEXY, especially after early books when bodies were described as just so much meat. I get that she's trying to tap into the whole shifters = animalistic deal but it's not quite working.

And that is probably a reaction to people noticing (per Envy) that a woman can't shower in an LKH book without men thinking it's an invitation.
